Severe Weather Snow / Ice Weds 28 FEB ( Onwards ) READ MOD NOTE POST#1

MOD NOTE

This is a busy thread and as a result the Mod Team will be taking a zero Tolerance approach to trolling, flaming and personal abuse.

Don’t say you weren’t warned!!

And please don’t feed - report & let the Mod team deal with Troublesome Posters/Trolls

Time to start a new thread as the other one reaches its capacity!

I'm sure kermit.de.frog will add a forecast and keep it updated for us.

So to kick it off a few mouth watering charts of the snow and cold potential over the coming days, stay safe.

Looking very windy going into Thurs night and look at those windchill readings!

Snow Lovers Winter Olympics

Streamer Irish Sea Dash: as expected the Eastern counties have dominated this event with strong showing so far from Dublin, Meath & Kildare but Cork are putting in a very late charge and could cause a surprise. Kildare & Dublin still look favourites to fight it out for the gold.

Emma blitz: the main event that everyone is looking forward to starts tomorrow evening with a real battle between Cork, Waterford, Wexford, Carlow, Kilkenny, Dublin, Kildare but every county in Munster & Leinster will fancy their chances. This could be the battle of the decade and could be a few records broken with this one providing some last minute jitters don't result in a complete flop which we know has happened before

Technical marathon - final event will start on late Fri/Sat and could be over very quickly or go on for a number of days. Very difficult to pick any winners for this as there's no previous form but the North & North west who dominated pre-qualifying over the winter might still have a surprise in store as they'll be disappointed with their showing so far

Note: Once again Wicklow have been disqualified from all events for breaching the >250asl limit

Not good news for north Wicklow and south Dublin then, just as a few are slowly lining up from Wales now. What kind of reduction are we talking about?

When you say not good news do you mean they will get no snow or loads of sbow in South Dublin?

Roads all white again. Light intensity now

I don't understand how I'm getting away so lightly (so far). I'm 15k north of Cork city and 200m above sea level. We'd get snow a couple of times a year when the city would be bone dry.

This snow is coming from the east whereas most normal weather fronts come from the west. Take a look at this https://www.netweather.tv/live-weather/radar and see the weather fronts coming in along from Waterford. This is what’s hitting Cork. Mainly south coast; Yoghual, Midleton, Garryvoe, Carrigaline, Kinsale, Clonakilty all probably getting the worse, which is never the norm for snow in Cork. It’s usually northwest Cork that gets the most

Ha!!! We about 25 miles north of Cork city and there is absolutely no snow...

It's crazy! Can see it on the radar and we're just on the edge of it. Hopefully tomorrow we see some snow chaos.

Been living in this part of North Offaly near Clara for twenty years, no question the most snow we've had. December 2000 was epic, a polar low, but this is a different level. I cannot believe we will have a repeat tomorrow evening. Nature doesn't work like that...

I'm in Kilbeggan and I was expecting more. Only a few inches on the ground here outside the house

Just to clarify, in the tech thread I said that we're past the heaviest of the showers. We should see a gradual decline in intensity in the next few hours. This is separate to Emma, which will a dynamic-snow event, not relying on sea convection.

Oh sweet jesus

you had me there for about 5mins

One of the posters in the technical thread mentioned that the heavy snow is finished for the week. Has Storm Emma changed or is the poster mistaken?

He said heavy intensity streamer snow would be finished .......

It's like a scene from the day after tomorrow here in cork. Loud clap of thunder, followed by lightning. I can barely make out the lampost viability is so bad. I've never seen anything like this.

Whereabouts ? heard no thunder ?

My street in Turners Cross Cork is now completely unaccessable to cars. Im 28 and living in Cork City all my life and can only remember a proper snow maybe twice in my life, but this blows it completely out of the water, fierce exciting altoghether biy.

What will it be like by Friday?

Could be very serious at that stage.
